Alleging the district is “dragging its feet' in talks, the San Francisco teachers union held strike readiness training yesterday.
The union representing more than 6,500 of The City’s public school educators, nurses, counselors and psychologists held a strike readiness meeting at John O’Connell High School on Thursday, a signal of increased organizing in the coming months.
“ reviewed a presentation from the bargaining team about what has happened in negotiations so far and how strikes, especially the recent wave of educator strikes, have helped workers achieve better pay and working conditions resulting in huge wins for educators, students, and families,” she said. Union leadership has been vocal that they’d like to avoid a strike and subsequent shutdown of classes. Union vice president Frank Lara said they “do not take such action lightly.”

The union said it was “surprised to see the district reject this proposal, as it could only positively impact the district’s current student enrollment.” The district said this preference would violate board policy.
Cody, the math teacher at Willie Brown Middle School, said the union is open to meeting with the district this summer “to negotiate smaller things,” but not aspects of economic proposals while staff is on break for the summer.

The court on Friday tossed out Grant's phone hacking claims because he brought them too late. But the court said he deserves a trial in January on claims that include tapping his landline and bugging his car and home. The case was argued during a hearing last month that also included phone hacking allegations by Prince Harry against News Group Newspapers. The ruling didn't address Harry's case.
